By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Well kids, I survived my first tornado threat last night, unfortunately the storms seem to be heading straight to Atlanta! So if you are brave enough to venture out tonight, here are a couple of fun events for you to consider. -David Mead and his ever so catchy hooks joins Brooklyn [...]
Hailing from NYC, Harper Blynn are a folksy pop rock quartet, part Beatles part Wilco with twist of Simon & Garfunkel (at the very least one wicked Art Garfunkel ‘fro) and we’ve got a hunch they are about to be everywhere. With a recently released debut full-length Loneliest Generation, Harper Blynn are out doing what they do best (and better than [...]

5GB Interview: Cosmonauts; Playing 529 Thursday, May 16
By Jhoni Jackson Orange County outfit Cosmonauts boasts a blend of chaos and comedowns in their forever-fuzzy rock ‘n’ roll repertoire. Last year’s If You Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die (Burger Records) hits both amped-up, anxious highs and droning, lost-in-lament lows with equal intensity. Nailing an energetic, raucous jam like “Motorcycle #1” is a feat in [...]
5GB Interview w/ Twin Sister; Playing TONIGHT (5/15) @ 529
Twin Sister trade in a brand of dreamy pop that’s equal parts Galaxie 500, Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac, and Lynchian weirdness. They claim it will make you feel good enough to hook up with that one person you’re not supposed to hook up with. UH-OH! We caught up with the band before they hit the road [...]

By Ellen Eldridge David Draiman of Disturbed, and ex-Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo recently collaborated together to construct Device. The self-titled debut released April 9, taking strands from hard rock, industrial and electronica to form a focused, fierce and fiery new machine. It all started while the Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum powerhouse Disturbed was on hiatus. Lenardo [...]
5GB Interview: Kelly McFarling Playing @ Eddie’s Attic 4/27!
Atlanta, GA raised Kelly McFarling and gave her space to find her powerful voice in its church choirs and baseball stadiums, but it was San Francisco that gave her the encouragement and community to solidify her original sound.
